Just because you bought an AM gearbox doesn't mean you can turn well and just because someone uses a kit gearbox doesn't mean it can't turn well. I guarantee you I can build a robot with an AM gearbox that will not turn at all and I guarantee you that I can build a robot with a kit geabrox that turns like a dream.

No no, I wasn't implying that the AM is any better than the standard gear box or that someone should go out and buy it just to get their robot to work (trust me, I was doing strategy this year and I saw plenty of awesome robots running standard transmissions, even one of my favorite teams, 1251, used them). I just was giving the basic set up for our robot and said that we had no problems turning. I know that there are so many more factors that could cause the issue at hand, and that wasn't even intended to be a suggestion to solve it. I'm sorry if my statement caused any confusion or implied something else.
